Greetings,
My company deals with the US federal government (We're registered to do so, a lengthy process here) and have a good many contacts for the resale of government surplus. This includes military equipment.
One of our military contacts put us in touch with a mining operation in the DRC that wanted equipment. Thing is, they wanted to trade gold nuggets that are unrefined for the equipment. We don't have any experience in this market so we have been investigating the options we may have. During our discussions we were offered a deal to pay exporting fee's on the raw gold to the local government, refine it, and pay the balance once the refined gold has been sold.
We'd like to get some costs associated on the shipping and refining process, also who to sell to. They want to do enough raw thats assayed at 90% to 94% purity to come to 20kg refined. They want to ship out of Tanzania and are stating the exporting costs at around 6%.
If we pursue this venture who would be a good company to go with for transportation and refining? We'd like the final product to eventually come to Los Angeles where we have local buyers.
Thank's for the advice a head of time.
